In recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. Hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The observer gain of the sliding mode observer is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. Computer simulations are presented to show the effect of the proposed adjustment mechanism on the performance of the output feedback sliding mode controller. I...

In this paper, the general problem of impedance control for a robotic manipulator with a moving flexible base is addressed. Impedance control imposes a relation between force and displacement at the contact point with the environment. The concept of impedance control of flexible base mobile manipulator is rather new and is being considered for first time using singular perturbation and new slid...

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

In this paper, a chattering-free sliding-mode control is mainly proposed in a second-order discrete-time system. For achieving this purpose, firstly, a suitable control law would be derived by using the discrete-time Lyapunov stability theory and the sliding-mode concept. Then the input constraint is taken into account as a saturation function in the proposed control law. In order to guarantee ...

Trajectory control problem arises if the manipulator is required to follow a desired trajectory. In the robotic literature mainly two approaches are used: computer torque (inverse dynamic control) and sliding mode control Sciavicco & Siciliano (1996); Slotine & Li (1991). The system under inverse dynamics controller is linear and decoupled with respect to the newly obtained input. In robotics l...

Absrrucr In this paper, a new fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order linear timevarying systems in order to obtain faster error convergence and desired error dynamics. It is well known that a second-order linear time-varying system can be used to model higher order linear time invariant systems piece-wisely. Therefore, it is necessary to do deep investigation for the sta...

The paper presents the basic concepts, mathematical and design aspects of sliding mode control.It is shown that the main advantages of sliding mode control are order reduction, decoupling design procedures, disturbance rejection, insensitivity to parameter variations, simple implementation by means of conventional power converters. The methods of suppressing chattering, caused by discrete-time ...

A new sliding mode control approach is introduced in this work with the dedicated mathematical tools. A timedelay modification/approximation of sign function is proposed, and it is shown that by substituting this new “sign” realization in the conventional sliding mode algorithms the main advantages of the sliding mode tools are preserved (like rejection of matched disturbances and hyper-exponen...

in this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (hoamsc). it is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...
